Training Benchmarks for Visa 457 and 186 ENS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you are looking to meet training requirements for Visa 457 & 186, then you can use Benchmark A and B – 457 Visa Training<\/a> offered by pdtraining.<\/b><\/p>\n

You may however have used a migration agent to help you find the appropriate staff with the right skills required for the job, so you might try and communicate<\/a> with the agent in relation to this legal training requirement.<\/p>\n

But the reality is that migration agents do one thing \u2013 find overseas staff and process their 457 documentation \u2013 and they don\u2019t specialise in understanding the on-going training requirements that you face as an employer, nor can they help find the most appropriate training for each staff member which will enhance their productivity<\/a> and make them more valuable assets to the business.<\/p>\n

The migration agent might infer they can help with this part of the process, but this is not their main focus.<\/p>\n
